Send us a message ✨ I think as business women, we're all a little bit guilty of constantly chasing the next thing. We're ambitious. We move the goal posts, we hit one goal and before we've even celebrated it, we're already asking ourselves, "What's next?"

As I'm getting closer to 30, I've found myself doing exactly that. Jack and I have been having more conversations about children, and if I'm honest, I've realised I've been carrying around a lot of fear. Fear of losing my identity. Fear of losing momentum in my business. Fear of stepping away from everything I've worked so hard to build. In this episode, I'm opening up about those thoughts. I share why I've always struggled with change, the story of bringing home Tux and why I couldn't imagine having children at 25, the advice people have given me over the years, and why one conversation with a previous podcast guest completely changed my perspective. I also talk about something that isn't spoken about enough... not knowing what your fertility journey might look like. We can spend so much time waiting for the "right" chapter, when the reality is, none of us know what the future holds. I feel like you blink and another year has gone by. The older we get, the more these conversations naturally come up, and as women that can sometimes feel like pressure. Pressure to make a decision. Pressure to know what you want. Pressure because time can feel like it's moving faster than you'd like. But I don't think there's a right or wrong answer. If you don't want children, that's completely okay. If you do want children, that's okay too. The most important thing is creating a life that feels right for you, not the life other people expect you to have. One thing I realised whilst recording this episode is that maybe I've been looking at it all wrong. Maybe I haven't been building my business instead of having children. Maybe I've been building it for that chapter. As beauty professionals, we've built careers around flexibility, freedom and a skill that nobody can ever take away from us. Our businesses can evolve with us, and maybe that's something we should be really proud of. Whether you have children, don't want children, are still deciding, or you're simply having these conversations yourself, I hope this episode reminds you that you don't have to have all the answers today. Maybe this is just your reminder to pause for a moment and ask yourself what you really want from the next chapter of your life. — New episodes of Beyond The Tweezers are released every Monday.
